Coon Creek Colors - a photo on Flickriver

Coon Creek Colors

            I was just looking to shoot the Empire Builder at Coon Creek, and it just so happened to be a trip with 161 out front with Amtrak's phase one anniversary paint.  Bonus.

I more-or-less never shoot on the Staples Subdivision in the northern suburbs, but I really wanted a shot at Coon Creek with the way the Empire Builder was late and the sun favorable.  So, I meandered to see the Commercial's Belt Job operations in Fridley and then killed some time before the Builder showed up.  I timed my stop up on the highway well, and I would guess that I waited only a minute or two before the train rounded the curve here at Coon Creed with the junction with the BNSF Hinckley Subdivision.  Meanwhile, an enthusiastic young railfan enjoys the train passing by, too.  Who cares if it's cold when the sun is out and you're having fun?
